Conor McGregor posts three-word reaction to Anthony Joshua’s savage KO of ex-UFC champ Francis Ngannou
CONOR McGREGOR posted a three-word reaction to Anthony Joshua’s savage knockout of Francis Ngannou.
AJ finished the ex-UFC champion in two rounds following three knockdowns and one final ruthless right hand.
It sent shockwaves around the boxing and MMA world with McGregor left in awe as he commented on Joshua’s Instagram post.
He wrote: “Nah man. Madness.”
McGregor, 35, was ringside in October when Ngannou, 37, made his boxing debut against Tyson Fury.
And he astonishingly dropped Fury, 35, only to lose a controversial split-decision.
But Joshua, 34, made no mistake in restoring order in the ring with the savage KO, leaving Ngannou’s future in boxing up in the air.
It leaves his MMA future up in the air but the heavyweight star insisted his business in boxing is not over yet.
Ngannou said: “You can be sure I’m not done here. It was not my day. He was way better than me. It sucks, but it’s the game. We all know that.”
Joshua embraced with Ngannou moments after the stunning KO and even urged him to remain in boxing.

Joshua, 34, then added: “If you need anything, let me know, but we’ll speak another time.”
